They forget the 30 people they send into the courthouse to do all the title work, the land man who acquires the ROWs, the road crew building roads into the ROWs, clearing crews, blasting crew all happens before stringers, pipe gang or fire line even show up to shanties!!
Very good video showing basic process of pipeline construction. There are several additional crews and steps required for completion, but nonetheless a great video for those who are curious about how pipelines are built. I usually work on tie-ins, bores or access crews on big inch union pipeline jobs in Western Canada, it’s a great way to make a living, being outdoors all day, seeing what we have accomplished in a day is very gratifying and the money can’t be beat. We are away from home for months at a time, but usually after a project ends we get time off at home before the next project starts. Love pipelining and would not do anything else.
@@PotentialGaming hang in there, work hard, stay safe and take care of your coworkers. The CGL project is a great opportunity for us, I’m on it as well and currently in Parsnip camp working on spread 3. Tip: stay away from the druggies and partiers, there will be plenty of time for that when the project is completed, it’s just not worth it.
@@doesntmatter5704 thanks man and I agree 100% im always asking questions and getting the affirmative before doing anything that is remotely close to hazardous, i understand how dangerous this job is especially on the environment im at. better safe then sorry im at spread 2 with surerus murphy mt merrick lodge is that for sa energy? wanna get in with the union hopefully it’s the best to work for my dad and older brother are in liuna92 for Edmonton/ab and I agree aha lots of people here abuse drugs alot of “hookers n blow” 😂 but I stay clear away from any substances just gotta stick with my caffeine Pills here and there!
Nice vedio I have worked 2 pipelines sand blasting and coating crew operator.The coordination and precision on pipe lines are amazing and the $$$ is excellent.
Been there done that...but preferred pipe fabrication work as compared to somewhat monotonous pipeline welding work.......but, money was good...... $ 36 to $ 40 per hour for Rig Welding rate back in the early 80's ......
They did leave out a very important step and crew. Wherever there is a break in the line for what ever reason, maybe a creek for example, a bell hole is dug so that ppl can safely get in. Then they weld the two sections together in the ditch. This is called a tie-in. And it's a very important step to a pipeline.
Galo Herandez sorry to correct you, but it’s Nothing FINER than a pipe liner. Haha. I’m sure you remember every welding rig had that sticker of a side boom with that saying under it. Congrats on retirement!!
Great Video but you left out a major process, holiday inspecting (jeeping) the coating on the pipe. The coating on the entire pipe is inspected prior to burying to make sure there is no damage to the protective costing, continuous protective coating will make sure the pipe maintains its integrity over the life of the pipeline.
Only thing I will say is they missed the actual starting crews that make the job happen. Access crew, GradeGang, then stringing and long comes pipe then the job is flowing full bore. You can’t do anything on a pipeline especially pipe wise. Until access and grade crew come through that’s for sure. Good video tho!
When using the semi automatic welding in the huts...... what weld process is being used ?? Short arc Mig ? RMD ? Pulse spray ? .... just curious being ran downhill with the buggies..... thank you..... great work too !!
You forgot the Jeep the pipe, To find any deficiencies in the coating or pipe, After repairs are made, then it is put into the ground and buried. The process is then repeated when it's tied in, welded, coated, Jeeped,covered. I'm this is not the beginning or the end of pipeline work and has to be maintained year around.
I work this company good outfit.winter is very tough and demanding work.the worst is frozen muskeg you must watch crack in soil all time good wage and benefit period.I work 30 years no regret.
There's a step missing (or I don't understand). How do miles of pipe, or even 50 pieces all welded together above ground, get lifted and lowered into the ground all at once?

@Bradley Powell Thanks Brad. Can you please tell how the next joint is done with the next stretch of pipeline? I mean is it done inside the trench or outside?
Enbridge is the only stock you will ever need. A 6% yield and future increase. Welfare tree hungers and enviro loser terrorist are crying as line 3 and 5 are going through as we speak.We all need oil and gas to survive to heat our homes and for all transportation needs. Thanks , for posting and all doing the research. Others such as PPL , TC and Ipl are also excellent picks for rsp or tfsa or investment accounts.
If they know where each pipe section goes, and must already have documentation of the topography in order to know where the right of way is, why can't the pipe be bent at the factory where it's likely to be a lot easier? Buildings are built with girders made for each exact placement according to specifications, so why not pipe?
I believe it's for the ease of transportation as unlike building components the pipes are enormous in size and are usually shipped in standardized containers.
Plus energy right of ways when completed and reseeded with grasses and legumes like clover offer great wildlife travel corridors and habitat for scores of wildlife, from bugs right up to big game animals.... !!!!!!
I can't believe they showed a weld with sooo much high low in it. A lot of waisted time using all that shitty. A crew of men could pipeline way faster, I promise you.
